As part of a new case-study that will investigate the effects on health of living in Swedish nature, “The 72 Hour Cabin” will be launching on October 10th, and five people with some of the most stressful jobs from around the world will experience a ‘close to nature’ lifestyle that involves them staying in a little cabin for three days.

Each cabin is located on Henriksholm Island and has been designed by Jeanna Berger, an architecture student. Fridh & Hells Bygg AB Construction Company custom-built the cabins that are made from wood and glass to allow the occupant to be as close to nature as possible.
